Loving by Henry Green

3.0

Imagining this novel in cinematic form, it would be like the famous long shot opening of A Touch of Evil - one continuous shot zooming in on something happening, pulling out and moving in on something or someone else. This is what I liked about the dialogue format of Loving, you'd have a conversation between two characters who'd see other characters in passing and the story and the dialogue then seamlessly move to those characters. Yet in these conversation, characters often don't pay a slightest bit of notice on what the other person is saying. This is sometimes funny but also gets a bit repetitive since it goes in circles. The missing waterglass, the dead peacock, the cluster ring, the Captain, the IRA, Albert, Albert and Albert, Mrs Welch is at her gin again, here give us a kiss. Repeat.
